It is disappointing to hear that the citizen in question has experienced difficulties when traveling through UK airports. The citizen's passport is valid and well within date, therefore there is nothing precluding the holder from travelling on this passport.

My department does not have any role in UK border security and specifically does not have any input or access to security related watchlists that UK Border Force might maintain. Unfortunately we cannot assist with policing and immigration controls used abroad, as this is managed at the discretion of the country’s airport authority and/or government.
